Subject:
Smith Baillew (?), Singing Cowboy Gets Girl
A rather tepid, feel good western with a typical by-the-numbers plot. Its only 54 minutes long, but lots of time gets taken up by Smith Ballew's so-so tenor vocals - like Ballew's character here, they're straightforward, earnest and rather uninteresting. Cecilia Parker makes an attractive love interest. Stanley Fields is the faithful and, for a change, capable sidekick who'd rather be in Chicago. The villains are just oily enough and nasty enough to hiss at. Not required viewing.
